Andy, I have been flying in MS2020 since its release, like you I find this sim very enjoyable and for all the reasons you have stated above have elevated it to 'The Bees Knees status' above FSX. As sim pilots I think we all fly place to place, we all just do it in different ways. As I do enjoy time and distance flying the most, I have taken full advantage of the advanced avionics in the glass panels for IFR flying. "Toy" you must have mixed me up with someone else. Joe, I was looking at pre-ordering the Deluxe package of MS2024, it's only a hundred bucks and as I enjoy flying closer to th

to my Madness

Is it worth getting if all I do is what I have been doing all along, pick a half decent plane, make myself a flightplan for VFR and don't bother with a GPS. I like to fly visually with a map, always have. Don't much care for career mode and the other stuff they are showing but wouldn't mind a bit better scenery. Any thoughts?

Thanks for another great history lesson Frank, much appreciated. To this day the Australian military has continued to be a great ally to not only the United States but to the continued effort to keeping the world safe. And for things like that to happen it takes the singlemindedness of great men, good men like Mr. Huson Fysh and so many others.

Grounding

Nothing like having a goal and then surpassing it, kudos. Nicely done video Frank, thanks for the look.

Sadley, I have looked at too many of these same situations that ended in the death of pilots and their passengers. They all had those same cascading series of mistakes in thinking. Thanks for the look at avoidable accident that should be a lesson for all.

Monocle

I had to find the article again because I once had looked into the subject of FAC and CAS when I learned about the British and Australian air force had fought in Palestine. Page four of this Air Power History magazine, https://www.afhistory.org/airpowerhistory/Air_Power_History_2006_winter.pdf Thanks for bringing the visuals on this interesting subject, all our counties continue to improve FAC and CAS to limit innocent casualties. We can only hope that one day cowardly armies will not hide behind innocent civilians and bring that number to zero.

Invasion

Mardi Gras (New Orleans)

Assumption

When I first decided to start flying in England, just to see what was there, A2A came out with their Piper Cub and along with Orbix/Ftx I was in scenery flying heaven. Low and slow with the sun coming up was fantastic. It was the first time I could put on the bush tires and skim the water while heading for a small sand bar for a night of camping. All that to lead in a big thanks for this new video on the start of Piper and their enjoyable little plane.

Wouldn't be happy with a monthly subscription but we will have to wait until it comes out, I'm sure there will be lots of rumors out there. I did hear that Asobo worked hard to make the size of simulation, it sits about 500 gigs right now, a bunch smaller. That I could get behind along with muti-core use. Another rumor?

Possible Stroke

Honey, it's Baby making time

Hand Puppet

I used to fly Ant's Tiger Moth in FSX quite often, it was very relaxing with its slow speed and 360deg views of the scenery. Thanks for the look back at de Havilland's Moth history Frank, I also agree with you on the shame of so many lost airfields.

Particles

Some would consider my personal Safe to be an arsenal.

Thanks Frank, good read. I give you credit for condensing this story into a well done video.

I couldn't find any reports from ATSB or much of anything for that matter except a basic description of the accident and search. Was there anything mentioned about the compass being damaged? He didn't seem to have any problems during his initial flights, could it be his compass was fine but his visual cues were wrong that made him think his compass was wrong. Guess we will never know, so I thank you for your observations and for bringing this particular accident to our attention, it certainly is an interesting thing to ponder. If in doubt, fly the coast.
